I wouldnt think its illegal to support it.. they have support on the T-Mobile website to support the iPhone internet settings.. so I dont see why they couldnt add the same for the MMS settings... probably just a matter of time. And since T-Mobile is an official iPhone carrier in other countries such as Germany, I would think that these settings should be fairly easy to port??? But who knows...

Well they dont actually provide support for the iPhone but they do provide support for their service. And seeing as how it is legal to use any unlocked phone on any carrier, the service provider would have to give support to make sure their service will work on your unlocked phone. Make sense?

Called Tmobile, Their teir 3 support for unsupported devices says stick with swirly for now.

He could not find a good reason for the poor incoming message quality, or a setting to rectify it.

Ok everytime I add a APN in my MMS settings it goes away but all the other settings stay there. any one know why?

[Pcpro745]

ive tried the nokia n95 for a user agent in the UA prof url in settings does no good, its only on incoming so theres gotta be a setting in the iphone that drops the resolution when it comes to the phone, because it worked on swirly no problem, cant be a t-mobile thing

T-Mobile USA has a whole department dedicated to the iPhone.

has anyone tried sending pictures to your number@tmo.net? my cousin who works for t-mobile told me to try this cuz MMS resizes pictures while emailing it wouldnt but when i tried it the picture still comes out crappy when i recieve it.

[seh6183]

Yea but that defeats the whole purpose of number-to-number MMS. I think it has something to do with the "Max image size" setting. We need to figure that one out in the MMS settings

Please try this bundle for MMS and tethering: T-Mobile USA Carrier Bundle.

This is a picture I took.



This is a screenshot of the above picture I sent to myself. It was a small thumbnail, so just for comparisons...

Just showing those who don't know.

[reznor9]

This has to be a user agent error.. even with SwirlyMMS, if you pick the iPhone user agent... then the pics look like crack in swirly too... thats why they provide the other profiles.

So I am convinced that we arent using these user agents correctly.
Its only a matter of time before someone gets it right.
I just wish I know how long the wait is going to be... cause I would purcahase swirlyMMS again, but I'll get pissed if I spend $12 on it, then a week later someone gets it to work correctly in the Messages app

It does still resize it

You can change the UA Profile URL all day and it really won't matter unless you change the UA String. Swirly changes two things when you spoof the User-Agent, the UA String, and the UA Profile. I'm pretty sure the UA String is all that T-Mobile is paying attention to.

OS 3.0 currently sends User-Agent: iPhoneOS/3.0 (7A341).

The 3.0 and the 7A341 can be changed in System Version.plist, but the iPhoneOS part appears to be pulling from somewhere else.

Stock MMS Headers

X-Wap-Profile: http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf
Accept-Charset: *
Accept: application/vnd.wap.mms-message
Accept-Language: *
Accept-Encoding: identity
User-Agent: iPhoneOS/3.0 (7A341)
Connection: close
Proxy-Connection: close

MMS Headers with OS changed in System Version.plist, similar results for build, but no go on the IPhoneOS part.

X-Wap-Profile: http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf
Accept-Charset: *
Accept: application/vnd.wap.mms-message
Accept-Language: *
Accept-Encoding: identity
User-Agent: iPhoneOS/3.1 (7A341)
Connection: close
Proxy-Connection: close

Even if everything could be changed in System Version.plist I'm not really sure what effect it would have on the phone as a whole. Most likely someone is going to have to hack the binary responsible for building the headers.
